Description

Rich drusy of white celestite with nice terminations.
A very old specimen, with the classic 'old' soot on it, which I decided not to remove to preserve its 'aged' appearance. Some peripheral wears, overall quite representative.

A Sicilian classic! In my collection since the late 2010s, acquired though a Swiss collector.
